Flappyhead:Is it possible for a child to develop Type II adult diabetes? Well I think we'll find out soon enough.

Yes, it can happen.

PsyLord:Someone actually watched it and wrote down what they consider to be the top 15 lines from that crap? I welcome the Mayan Apocalypse.

I'm not inclined to click on a story about "Here comes Honey Boo-Boo" but I figure it is a matter of Twitter research. I saw another headline this morning about what that family is doing with the money from the show (now $15K/ep) and I thought "it can't be possibly anything wise." No way does this show have more than a season or two left, and they didn't come into money in a way that would teach them how to handle it.

I didn't click. It is the least I can do to not contribute to the cultural dilution of our nation. Almost everything I know about that show is from Fark, FB commentary, and the South Park spoof. I'm judging this book by its cover and that's it.

Yikes. So what are they doing with the new found riches?

Each of the kids gets a trust fund that they can't touch until they turn 21 unless they use it for school or there is a medical emergency.

I saw 1/2 of one episode and it's about as horrifying as you think it is. Even their town is unhappy about how their people are represented through this one family of rednecks. And uninteresting ones at that.

Mama June is investing it for her daughters. She doesn't touch any of it and the girls can't touch it until they're 21. According to the article, they live off of Sugar Bear's earnings.

Yeah, I read the article. The Honey Boo Boo family isn't so bad. TLC tries to make bigger fools of them than they probably are with terrible editing, but I've watched a few episodes and they don't seem like horrible people.

You know what? Good for them, then. It is easy to deride them and put them down but at least their mom is using the notoriety to try and get her daughters better footing than most especially concerning their circumstances. I also know that they contribute a lot to their church and local charities like food pantry despite not having a whole lot themselves already.

But still. There's an 11 fingered baby in that household so it's hard not to roll your eyes that hard.

Latinwolf:I never even heard of Honey Boo Boo until it was mentioned on South Park and after reading the article, I still don't understand what people see in this crap.

It's a combination of the fascination people have with horrific car crashes and the freak circus shows of older times.Mike Judge should receive some kind of award in recognition of his prophetic documentary work.

Is this family messed up to most people? Yep. But from watching a few of these episodes it seems like they are pretty much accepting of everybody (the pagent-trainer gay uncle), they honest-to-God dont give a shait what others think, and have realistic expectations of themselves. Thats probably more than most of the people who mock the hell out of them can say.

I read an article about it last week, trying to figure this thing out, and I still don't get it. I will give it ONE plus, though. Apparently, unlike the rest of the Reality TV landscape, the focus of this show isn't manufactured drama and how many fights/arguments the principles can get in per episode. I guess the show is about how this many people actually work to get along with each other, which would be a welcome change.

Fortunately, I will not be able to verify this for myself, as I plan to NEVER watch this waste of airtime.

FTA: "She claims the fart ghost is a ghost that you smell before it actually scares you." - Mama, on Honey Boo Boo's "fart ghost"

I used to have a cat named Boo who would leave poo ghosts in the litter box. He would get done taking a dump, take a flying leap out of the box, and go tearing through the house like the devil was on his tail.

I wouldn't be surprised if she becomes Patient Zero for Type III Diabetes, which becomes airborne and infects 70% of the planet in 1 week.

If that doesnt get farking corn syrup off the market then NOTHING will.

Speaking of corn syrup and its evilness, for Christmas this year my boyfriend and I went to my parents house, and my sister and her boyfriend were there. My dad decides to make his famous French toast, and I'm putting all the fixings on the table, when I notice the huge industrial-sized jug of "maple syrup" in the pantry. I ask why they don't have real maple syrup, and my sister grabs it from me and says that it IS maple syrup, then proceeds to shove the bottle in my face and tells me to read the ingredients. First one named? Corn syrup. I say it's not real maple syrup if the first ingredient is corn syrup, and she just stares blankly at me like I asked her to do some quantum physics for me.

I think this country just might make it after all. *Sheds tear of joy*

I won't ever be watching this show, although I have my one reality show, and that's the Voice. My wife watches ones with cakes and wedding dresses, but only for the cakes and wedding dresses. She never even mentions the people in them.

I'm sure if she bothered to actually look closely at the front label, she'll notice that it says "MapleflavoredSyrup"

I get all the real maple syrup I want for free, from my in-laws. Comes in a mason jar. My dad only uses the expensive real stuff he can buy in a store, so I grew up on real maple syrup. Truth be told, I much prefer the fake stuff. I don't know why, but I do.Christmas morning my wife made corn cakes for breakfast, I combined the real stuff with some vanilla bourbon sorghum and it was awesome.
